Here are some unsolicited comments and proud pictures of our customer's home, yard and garden accent projects. Pictured below are just a few of the cupola, weathervane, finial, and copper roof vent accents that we offer here at The Weathervane Shoppe.

Nick,

It has been a while since we talked. Last week the roofers finally finished the barn roof that has the cupola and weather vane. I promised some pictures of the finished install. These were taken today. The cupola and weather vane look great!!

Thanks for a great product and the great service.

Dear Nick,

I am contacting you on behalf of the Concord-Nanae Network which is the group in Concord, Massachusetts that supports the 20+ year sister relationship with Nanae, Japan. In November a group from Concord traveled to Japan to participate in the anniversary celebration of the founding of Nanae. We had been trying to find a special gift to mark the occasion and the committee thought that the custom weathervane mounted outside the town hall in Nanae will be an enduring reminder of our special relationship. We greatly appreciate all your assistance in the design and construction of this wonderful and lasting gift from our city to theirs.

The presentation and dedication ceremony was very well received and I have attached a few pictures for your enjoyment.

Hello Nick,Thank you!! I appreciate the great customer service that goes along with a beautiful weathervane. The Good Directions Rooster is a high quality product!! Beth

Hello Nick,

Want to drop you a note of thanks for helping our client get the two very large custom cupolas made for their special projects. I know that we had a number of special requests and design changes along the way but you stayed with us and worked out all the details to get us the exact cupola that we needed to deliver.

We greatly appreciate your efforts and flexibility and the finished product is just perfect. The quality is top of the line, the finished detail is very nicely done and the proportions are exactly as designed. Overall it was a difficult job and in the end...with your help, we got everything just right. Our great appreciation and thanks to you.

Dear Nick,

I wanted to reach out & show you the finished product of the finials & cupola we purchased from your web site. We absolutely love them & wanted to share this with you.

Thanks again,Susan Dispenziere

My moon and star arrived today. It's beautiful and I can't wait to get it hung. I wanted the mermaid really bad but my girlfriend down the street bought that and I didn't want to be a copycat.

Thanks so much,

Sue Leite

Hey Nick,

Just thought I would send a few pics of the cupola I built for my niece using one of your weathervanes. A great product for a very reasonable price.

Thanks again,

Tony Dunn

Mr Falletta,

Just a quick note to thank you for all the personalized service recently on our weatehrvane order. The vane arrived just as you said that it would and we had our contractor install it over the weekend. It just looks great and adds the perfect finishing touch to our home improvement project. We just wanted you to know how pleased we are with not only the professional and friendly service, but also with the quality and final presentation of the weathervane product itself.

Sincerely,

Dennis Cronin

Hello Nick,

...as promised, here is a picture of the Good Direction Bi-plane weathervane after mounting on the roof of our garage. We think it is perfect and it's like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. We were so pleased with the absolute attention to detail and the overall quality of this vane, we're proud to have it atop our roofline, pointing the direction of the wind. Almost anyone that comes to visit notices it and wants to know more.

Thanks just one more time for the great service and good advice on the mounting options. Delivery was also right on time and Good Directions does a great job packing the vane for a safe journey to our door.

Warm wishes,

The Malin FamilyAsheboro, NC

Hello Nick,

Here is a picture of the new EZ-vane lighthouse weathervane and Windsor cupola that we purchased from you earlier this year. You were right that installation was actually very simple and only a few common hand tools would be needed. We took our time and as you suggested, measured twice! The entire process was completed in just one afternoon and we even had time to celebrate completing the project before supper. So, thank you for all your advice and for your special handling on our order. What a great experience this has been for us, we enjoy coming up the driveway and just looking at our new cupola and seeing what direction the wind is blowing.

Kind regards,

The Grant FamilyBridgeport, CT

Nick,

Here are pictures of the Good Directions Smithsonian Arrow 954P weathervane and Manchester cupola on our new roof that I told you we would send. We really like it and it was a pleasure doing business with you.

Take care,

Jim and GlennBloomington, Indiana

Hi Mr. Falletta,

The weathervane has been successfully installed! And it looks amazing and it adds the perfect finished look to the top of the gazebo.

Please see the picture below.

Tomorrow is another scheduled work day and that will be to stain the roof of the cupola and to paint the cupola. The weather here has been cold and we have been getting a lot of rain. And although we need the rain, I've had to reschedule a lot of my work days because of it. I also cannot work on my project without my dad, since anyone under the age of 18, like me, is not allowed to use power tools (even if they are battery operated) and that has been delaying the progress of my project because most weeks my dad works 7 days in a row, and my project requires the use of a lot of different kinds of power tools. But my project is moving along, just a lot slower than I had planned on.

I would like to thank you, again, for your support and generosity in donating the weathervane to my Eagle Scout Service Project! I will be sure to send you more pictures, once the entire project is complete.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Yours in Scouting,

Scout "Jake"Troop 386New York

Dear Nick!

Just a quick note of thanks for all the help with the purchase of our Upper Deck Hummingbird weathervane. It just looks great atop our cupola and we are so pleased to see it as we come and go from the house. It's a really nice touch, the installation was just as easy as you explained and we are very happy. Even the neighbors have made a few nice comments and said that maybe they should give you a call too after they get a chance to look through your online selection, which is quite large. Thanks again, here is a picture of the vane after installation.

Jerry & June

Dear Nick:

Love our custom weathervane! As promised, here are the pictures of the custom weathervane that you had manufactured just for us. The design process went smoothly, delivery was just as you quoted and it looks just grand on top of our custom 'barn'. Thanks so much for your help and advice on this unique project.

Drew

Hey Nick!

Great customer service and thanks much! My neighbor loves the weathervane and I think that she may be ordering one too. I have attached some photos of my setup, the copper sailboat vane looks great on our deck railing.

Ron Belida

Dear Nick:

You asked me to send a picture of our completed project. I have also posted to Facebook, how satisfied I am with your delivery and promised product. It seems rare in this day and age to receive what you hoped for and have that surpassed. I am happy to recommend you to my friends and people I don't know.

Thank You Again for your prompt service and excellent product.

Gay Ann

Dear Nick & Linda,

We received the fairy weather vane yesterday & were pleasantly surprised at how grand it is. Thank you! It's an amazing piece!

Diana & Greg

Hello Nick,

I thought you might like to see a picture of the beautiful self-installed weathervane and cupola that we purchased from you earlier this year. We appreciate your guidence on how to complete the installation and want you to know it was just as easy as you said it would be. We think that the size and style are just perfect for our horse barn and we wanted to thank you for all your help and expertise, you were such a big help. Everything arrived right on time and complete with everything to mount the vane into the cupola. We are really proud of the look and that we did this all by ourselves!

Kind Regards,(Name Withheld by Request)

Hi. Nick. Here's he picture of the Royal Crowne Greenfield cupola and Good Directions Smithsonian 954P Arrow weathervane topping the roofline of one of our Esquire custom home. We think that it's the perfect final touch and adds not only value but also a lot of charm and class. It's just the type of accoutrement we are proud to put on a client's custom home. Thanks for all your help and the great customer service.

Sincerely,Aaron Shreve Mattern & Fitzgerald Fine Homes

Hi. Nick. Here's he picture of the shroud installed, just like I promised. I have another question for you. The finials that you sent me, do they need to be lightning protected, wired and all per manufacturer's recommendation? I greatly appreciate all your help and advice with this project.

Sincerely,Nazar Kalivoshko

Thank you so very much Nick. The item arrived to my brother as promised. He likes it very much. I appreciate your service. The previous vendor I dealt with for the same item was just horrible and I even had to reverse the VISA payment to them. What a difference your helpful nature and good customer service made in this transaction.

Sincerely,

Catherine Trombly Latham

Nick,

Here are photos of the cupola and weathervane you provided me. Thanks again for all your assistance. I've gotten great compliments.

Best regards,

Dear Nick: These are the Smithsonian weathervanes we purchased from your online store and placed atop gazeboos we build here in many places in Mexico.

Hi Nick!, Love this! Hopefully, we will get finials for my dormers in the future! A very happy customer!

Dear Mr. Falletta,

Thank you for your generous donation of two custom made weather vanes to Evie's playhouse. Her wish would not have been as special without the support of The Weathervane Shoppe and we sincerely appreciate your time and hard work. Thank you for helping us make her wish come true!

Love, The Make-A-Wish Team

I don’t know if we ever sent you pictures of our house with your cupola and weathervane. We just moved in a month and a half ago, we think it is just perfect!

Cheryl Baber / Owner Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Hello Nick, We received both pieces this week, although we have not unpacked the coupola yet, it appears to be in good condition--both are beautiful pieces and represent a good value. Thanks for you your effort on our behalf.

Sincerely, Ken Hodina / Owner

Got it 2 days ago !! The eagle is great !! Super service !! Count me among your VERY satisfied customers.

Thanks,David and Susan / Owners

I thought you might like to see pictures of the weathervane once it finally was installed on our new house in Arroyo Grande, California. I want to thank you again for the great costumer service we received. If you will recall we had two weathervanes damaged in transit with the third one finally making it undamaged. You were very helpful and quick to replace the damaged units.

Thank you againLarry Thomas / Owner

Folks, About 3 years ago (I think) we bought a cupola and hummingbird weathervane from you with a specific use in mind. For various reasons, we just got around to completing our project this last spring. We had a 4x6 post with a rather large transformer and an outdoor outlet for some of the low voltage light runs coming out of the middle of a planted area in the front of our house. It stood about 2 feet high, and, though necessary, wasn't exactly a pleasing part of the landscape. We wanted something to hide it, but whatever we did had to be ventilated (the transformer puts out a bit of heat), and we also needed some vertical development in the planted area to catch the eye. as the slope from the street to the house is considerable and the plants don't show from the street. The attached pictures show how we designed the fix around your cupola. Four feet of lattice plus the height of the cupola and the weathervane, gave us exactly what we needed to look good from the house as well as the street. The transformer and outlet are hidden and more protected, we still have access to the outlet box if we need it (the front panel opens), and we've got something to draw attention to the area - and we couldn't have done it without your cupola and weathervane. We've had quite a few compliments on it, and decided to send a few pics and let you know that your products work just as well and look just as good when they're a lot closer to the ground then on a roof. And thanks for a quality product - everything was very well made,square ( ! ), fit together easily, and looks great.

Don & Kathie Boudreau / OwnersWildwood, MO

Hi Nick,

Hopefully I rememebered your email address correctly. If you ever want to rent our "villa", especially with freinds, its 20% through me.

I purchased a cupola last month from your store and everything was first rate, from your website to the personal over the phone service when inquiring about and purchasing a cupola (getting a real person who's knowledgable on the first try without going through a phone tree is a welcome change) to shipping and receiving the cupola in pristine condition.

It's now on the roof and looks great!

Thanks again,Ron / Owner

Hi, Received the vane yesterday. Looks great! Thanks again for making it such a smooth transaction.

Best Regards,

Kent Ricken / Controller

Hi Nick, Thought you might like to see the weathervane on the shed house we had built; I love it - thanks so much again!

Just wanted to say "Thank-you," I received my order for the eagle weathervane time promised. It arrived for Christmas. My husband likes it. Your customer service was outstanding.
